1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundColon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is one of the most common malignant tumors, with high incidence and mortality rates worldwide. Reliable prognostic biomarkers are needed to guide clinical practice.

methodsComprehensive gene expression with alternative splicing (AS) profiles for each patient was downloaded using the SpliceSeq database from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Cox regression analysis was conducted to screen for prognostic AS events. The R package limma was used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal and tumor samples in the COAD cohort. A Venn plot analysis was performed between DEGs and prognostic AS events, and the DEGs that co-occurred with prognostic AS events (DEGAS) were identified. The top 30 most-connected DEGAS in protein-protein interaction analysis were identified through Cox proportional hazards regression to establish prognostic models.

resultsIn total, 350 patients were included in the study. A total of 22,451 AS events were detected, of which 2004 from 1439 genes were significantly associated with survival time. By overlapping these 1439 genes with 6455 DEGs, 211 DEGs with AS events were identified. After the construction of the protein-protein interaction network, the top 30 hub genes were included in a multivariate analysis. Finally, a risk score based on 12 genes associated with overall survival was established (P < 0.05). The area under the curve was 0.782. The risk score was an independent predictor (P < 0.001).

conclusionsBy exploring survival-associated AS events, a powerful prognostic predictor consisting of 12 DEGAS was built. This study aims to propose a novel method to provide treatment targets for COAD and guide clinical practice in the future.
